161312 - 2. No, the only time that we have heard of instances of this is
161313 - when the refill tube from the water control is no longer in the

161703 - While American Standard offers to replace the toilet, the bigger

161711 - A few months ago, Kathy asked the plumber who did work on the water
161712 - heater for a price to fix a water facet, and was disappointed about
161713 - the price, so she feels that contractor would not be effective for
161714 - this assignment.
